Genetic Thrillers

Rajeev Sundaram and his son, Dev, have escaped from Next Level Technologies, the robotics firm taken over by Gregory Maltek, the founder of competing bio-engineering firm Fresh Meat. By taking out his competition, Maltek is free to pursue world domination by building an army of superhumans and forcing every human being on Earth to purchase and occupy one of his replacement bodies - bodies over which he has complete control. Having already infiltrated the US military, Maltek appears unstoppable. But he won't take over without resistance.

Andrew Frost had been gone no more than fifteen minutes. It was just supposed to be a quick run to the store. But in that brief interval, his entire universe was stolen from him, every parent and spouse’s worst nightmare on display at the kitchen table upon his return. Two months later, he’d do anything to see Sylvia and Alison again. He’s certainly taken enough pills to make that possible. However, there may be another way . . .

Fifteen years ago, the Orestes virus first emerged, sweeping across the globe and infecting every living person within a matter of days. Despite the best efforts of the scientific community, there is no treatment, no vaccine. It lies dormant until a woman gives birth. Then she dies. Teenage wheelchair athlete Antimone Lessing can’t remember how she got pregnant. She thinks her life is over as the doctors prepare to deliver her baby. Meanwhile, a hunt is underway to arrest the man suspected of raping her, but even if the police catch him, it will be too late for Antimone.

The perfect weapon has a mind of its own. Jarrod Hawkins, a security contractor with a troubled past, is ushered into an underground facility where a group of DARPA scientists use his body for biotechnological research. They use genetic editing, nanomachinery, neural rewriting, and next-generation armor to turn him into the most fearsome weapon on Earth. But as they push the limits of human performance and lethality, the facility begins to experience unexpected power outages. There is only one explanation - their creation has turned against them.

John Harmon has tried everything to cure his severe insomnia: an endless stream of doctors, treatments, and multi-colored pills. So when he's finally admitted into an experimental sleep study promising to cure his ailment and pay for his daughter's chemotherapy, it's convenient that he doesn't suspect a thing. But the Skyline Facility, nestled in the mountains and only accessible by helicopter, is anything but normal.

Peter Valois is about to make history. A scientist on a hot project, his days consist of recording brains and sending the files into robots for "conditioning". His plan is to use the results to fix their behavior, and then use the same method with humans. Peter's been on the straight and narrow and everything is going well, until problems with his teenage son force Peter out of his comfort zone. His scheme to save his son backfires when his cutting-edge research attracts the interest of someone who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Deep in the frozen wasteland of Antarctica, a remote NASA research lab rests atop a two-mile thick glacier, covering a vast underground water reservoir. But the true discovery isn't the lake buried in ice - it's what has been found within its boundaries. Something amazing. Something alive. And it may hold the answers to existence itself. When the lab is attacked and its scientists murdered, ex-Navy SEAL Nolan Kilkenny realizes that there's more than science at stake - there's power, money, and what may be another step in evolution.

The survivors are trapped. Cut off from the rest of the world and quarantined as the virus spreads to every corner of the country, while the combined forces of the naval fleet set sail for deeper waters and leave the UK to its fate. Facing the aftermath of the battle for the island, the groups are separated as the bonds of friendship and camaraderie are violently severed, and they must survive on their own. Every effort to survive is fraught with peril, and those left behind must battle to find some form of safety, no matter how brief that respite might be.

Bad Seed is the story of Aurora Blanc, a young and brilliant Stanford science student who, by genetically enhancing the corn fed to cattle, engineers 'Healthy Heart' beef. Her path takes her from poverty to billionaire icon; she is beautiful, emotionally distant and ice-cold in her pursuit of scientific and business perfection. But her work on the corn seed is not entirely her own, and her attempts to maintain control begin to slip from her grasp.

In 2025 America, it's hardly news when a renowned octogenarian scientist dying of cancer disappears from a local hospice, but when Kansas City Star reporter Rich Azadian begins to dig, he discovers that other elderly scientists around the world have also vanished recently - all terminally ill and receiving the same experimental treatment from a global health company.

As Escape from Extinction opens, the last Neanderthal dies in a cave on the Iberian Peninsula. Thirty thousand years later, the naturalist Muir O'Brien, hunting deep in the Oregon wilderness, spots a fern believed to be extinct since the end of the last ice age.

Two young and determined entrepreneurs set out to create an annual convention called Prehistoric Con. What was supposed to a glorious evening in celebration of all things prehistoric - showcasing best-selling authors, movie directors, executive producers, screenwriters, and a host of others from the industry - takes a sudden turn for the worst with the reality that they have been locked inside the building with no way out. It isn’t long before the entire convention comes to the horrifying realization that they are being hunted...

Artificial life form, Shakbout Mansard just wanted a quiet, ordinary life with his family. As one of the selected few of the Bottle Born who live as free citizens, this was a reasonable ambition. Unfortunately, Shakbout has dangerous knowledge of a plot to overthrow the government of Mengchi, making him a target for both the plotters and the security forces. At the same time the most dangerous bottle born terrorist in the systems wants Shakbout to commit a crime that will ignite a secret systems - wide war between factions of the Natural and the Bottle Born.

Carolyn’s parents did not, after all, make genomics history by synthesizing her genome in a lab. She has known she is the “Human Hoax” ever since a high school genetics exercise revealed she has trisomy X - a chromosomal abnormality - yet no synthetically constructed genome would have such clear traces of natural conception. Many years later, as a molecular biologist, Carolyn hopes her colleagues never learn of her embarrassing origins. But when someone ransacks her office and lab, she finds professional embarrassment is the least of her worries.
